Wealthy Liberal Trudeau should "do the "right thing" and pay for his own nannies

In what has instantly been dubbed "Nannygate", the CBC has reported that Canadian multi-millionaire Justin Trudeau has already hired nannies at tax-payer expense: "The disclosure comes after an election campaign where Trudeau repeatedly attacked the Conservatives' enhanced universal child care benefit, or UCCB, and income splitting for families, arguing rich families like his and former prime minister Stephen Harper's didn't need taxpayers' help."

Back in this Sept.21, 2012 interview, Justin Trudeau's wife Sophie Gregoire was quoted saying: "I don't have a nanny but both grandmothers are helping out. I also found an amazing babysitter who can help out at night time when we have events to attend. My priority is my family. Everything else comes second. So I have to decline many invitations, work opportunities, etc. I know and feel that it's the right thing to do."'Right thing to do', eh? Yes, indeed... how 'humble', how... umm... 'sincere'... then!! But now, flying the entire family of kids, wife and "staff" to the Paris GreenFear Climate Coven is the right thing to do, eh? Oh, the Sunny Waves of Liberal entitlement.

Yet, in this Toronto Star Aug.17, 2013 report, Justin Trudeau strangely claimed that they DID have a nanny, who was there overnight at their house during that bizarre break-in at their rented Rockcliffe (Ottawa) home.

Normally, it'd be any family's personal business whether they had a nanny or not; but now - upon hearing that Canada's rich Prime Liberal Hypocrite Turdeau suddenly does have two nannies employed at taxpayers' expense - it has become our business.

In this situation, both Trudeau and his spouse have shown themselves to be nothing more than Liberal hypocrites, already getting their fill at the entitlement trough.That didn't take long - less than a month after the Liberals took office!

Don't worry: there will be many more LibScams to follow, with Turdo as PM! {Remember Turdo's self-entitled charging of speaking fees to appear at charity fund-raisers - while he was also a sitting Liberal MP, slacking off from the House? This is the template of the Sunny Way!}

This is just the sad beginning of the inbred Turdopian Liberal Nanny-State darkness - like the story about the $1,800.00 per day gravy-train salary being given out in Denis Coderre-ville (former-Liberal-hack Fred Flintstone's Montreal) to "coordinate" what is essentially a welcome wagon for Montreal's anticipated Syrian refugee arrivals..!

When Liberal budgets 'balance' themselves, Liberal largesse has no bounds!

Let's now update to the Ottawa Citizen's Glen McGregor reporting late afternoon on Dec.1, 2015, that "the two nannies hired by Justin Trudeau to work at his new residence were previously employed by his family to look after his children, a cost he is passing on to taxpayers now that he is prime minister.Marilou Nemiada Trayvilla and Marian Pueyo were hired last month as “special assistants” in the prime minister’s residence, although their roles appear chiefly to be providing child care to the three Trudeau children, who are 19 months, six years and eight years old."

If (...and note: IF) what Justin Trudeau now says is true, then, why the hell do we have to pay for this personal arrangement, which they supposedly already had? Let Justin and Sophie continue paying for their own nannies!

But wait - is what Justin is now saying true, that these nannies were "just hired"?
Remember, wife Sophie has already claimed that they did not have a nanny, as late as Apr. 2013.
Then, by Aug.17, 2013 - right after that bizarre break-in at their rented Rockcliffe home - Justin said that there was a nanny there that night.

So we have to ask: who was the nanny that the Trudeau's had working in their Rockcliffe house in 2013?
Why do taxpayers need to now know about this?
Well, because McGregor also reported in detail that:
"Trayvilla appears to have moved with family from Philippines to Ottawa and about five years ago was working for Ottawa lawyer Kirsten Crain and her husband, John Morales, who lived around the corner from the home Trudeau later rented in Rockcliffe.

Crain declined to say whether Trayvilla was hired through the special government program that gives temporary work visas to foreign child care workers brought to Canada.Trayvilla went to work for another family, then ended up with the Trudeaus after Justin Trudeau won the leadership of the party and moved from Montreal into a home on Manor Avenue in Ottawa.She posted pictures of her and the Trudeau family on her Facebook page from last Christmas.The Prime Minister’s Office confirmed that Pueyo also worked for the Trudeau family previous. Both women are Canadian citizens, the PMO says.Even though the two women worked as nannies when Trudeau was only leader of the third party, the PMO maintains that child-care in only part of their jobs providing “assistance” at the residence.“Given the nature of the prime minister’s responsibilities and his young family, the Trudeaus employ two household employees who, in addition to performing other duties around the house, act as secondary caregivers to the three children,” spokesperson Kate Purchase told the CBC".

What McGregor has NOT specifically said in his report, is whether any of these two current nannies (who now work for PM Trudeau) also worked for Trudeau back then at Rockcliffe!
McGregor beats around the bush on this point, but he doesn't quite reveal that important detail!
The PMO office is also fudging the specifics here.
Was the 2013 nanny who had worked for the Trudeau's during the break-in (...ie, the nanny that Justin said was there...) the same nanny who had worked for that Rockcliffe lawyer, and the same nanny who is with PM Justin now?!
Or was that that some other nanny in 2013?

The reason this is now relevant to taxpayers and to those who voted for Justin, is that because if one of these current nannies was working for the Trudeaus in Rockcliffe during the time of that 2013 break-in, then what Trudeau's Liberals are saying NOW - that the nannies were just "hired last month" - would be a patent lie!

It would mean that they were NOT "hired last month"; it would mean that they had already been working for the Trudeaus!
It would also clearly mean that Justin Trudeau is already trying to pull off a fraud.
Why should taxpayers pay for any of this??

That the Trudeaus had hired help is not new or surprising, given their schedules with three children eight and under, and the fact they come from a privileged background.

But two nannies? Day and night child care? That is excessive by most parenting standards, even for a prime minister. Should the public purse now pay for their two nannies to care for Xavier, Ella-Grace and Hadrien?

Even before her husband was elected to the highest office in Canada, Sophie Grégoire-Trudeau had a full life outside the home – volunteering, speaking out on issues such as bulimia, attending political functions and teaching some yoga. She does not work full-time, but helps important causes, is a busy mom and political wife.

In addition to her nannies, she also relies on her mother and mother-in-law to help. Before they moved to the “cottage” on the grounds of Rideau Hall, Ms. Grégoire-Trudeau could be seen at the local kids’ park with a nanny and her mother, the three women all fussing over the youngest Trudeau child. Her daytime nanny would also accompany her and Hadrien to lunch at popular restaurants in the Ottawa Byward Market..."

Again - it is not quite clear here, exactly when the Trudeau's "employed two nannies"!

Sophie Gregoire had made a point of telling us that she had NO nannys at all!

Are we talking of 2012 here? 2013? 2014? Only 2015??

Again: why is this relevant? Because if the Trudeaus already had two nannies (as seems to be the case, despite the obfuscation and contradictions from both spouses) then, the nannies were not "just hired", they were already employed .

The wealthy Trudeaus, with this blatantly hypocritical, let-them-eat-cake shell-game, foisted their own previous, personal arrangement onto the tax payer.
